RigiCloud - version 1.1.0:

Added

  • General: Menu has been re-organised to better fit within high-level categories: Dashboard, Airbridge planner, Logistics center, Control tower, Fleet management (new section), Compliance center.
  • Fleet Management: this is a new section where we group all the equipment (drones, batteries and Edge Nodes) assigned to your project.
  • Edge nodes: there is a new page where you can see the Edge Nodes assigned to your project and their status within the new Compliance center.
  • Reverse Mission RTL: rather than returning in a straight line to the Takeoff position, the drone will now return to Takeoff by reversing it's mission.
  • Automatic flight plan creation: This new feature that will automatically create a route between two points (Markers or Bases) that is optimised for terrain, climbing/descending, and geocages/fences. This feature is still experimental and only works in Switzerland for the moment.
  • Documents: the manuals are now available as a downloadable PDF (as well as the existing cloud-based documentation).
  • Release notes: release notes for this and future software releases are now available in the Documentation section.
  • User creation: you can now create your own user accounts for other colleagues within your own project.
  • API endpoints: we've added additional endpoints to the API, including the ability to send commands to the drone and to send a flight plan (still experimental).
  • API telemetry customisation: we can now change the data points that is available within the drone telemetry feed (RigiTech backend only - please ask Support to change your telemetry feed customisation).

Fixed

  • Planner: default distance between geocage levels within a flight plan are now saved and recovered when the flight plan is edited again
  • General bug fixes, re-factor, etc.

Onboard software (Eiger + Minto) - version 0.9.3:

Added

  • Arming catches: arming denied if faulty backup battery is used or no backup battery is inserted.
  • Position checks: printing of position checks before starting a mission to ensure position consistency.
  • Backup GNSS for geocage: the onboard computer uses the failsafe GNSS in case of autopilot GNSS estimation error.
  • Simulated failsafe: simulators without FTS will start a "dummy" failsafe sending data to RigiCloud.

Fixed

  • General bug fixes.

Changed

  • Better logging: better OC logs to debug in case of issues.
  • Better connection: improved connection time of the drone with interface whiteisting.
  • RigiTech modes: better handling of current drone state to handle RTL in reverse mission.

Autopilot software (Eiger + Minto) - version 1.12.4:

Added

  • Emergency braking: Faster and smoother braking after quadchute.
